Wives - Mothers - Daughters - Widows

Appleby examines the lives of the Cornish women who went to the Caribbean colonies, filling a gap in the literature of the Cornish diaspora which previously focused on the male-dominated mining industry in the USA, Australia, and South Africa.

Of Cornish heritage through her mother’s family, Sue Appleby has spent most of her adult working life in Guyana, Trinidad, and Antigua, and has a deep interest in the history of both Cornwall and the Caribbean. Married to Bernie Evan-Wong, she has two daughters, Meiling and Sarah, and lives in Antigua.
